Use PostMan to post JSON to REST backend

1. Set web method to POST
2. Add to the Headers:
   1. a key named: Accept with value application/json
   2. a key named: Content-Type with value application/json
3. Optionally, if authentication is required:
   1. a key named: Authorization with value: bearer: token
      
4. Add the JSON data to the raw area of Body of Postman
5. Click send.

Token example::

Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpc3MiOiJodHRwOlwvXC9sb2NhbGhvc3RcL21pYWNcL2FwaVwvYXV0aFwvbG9naW4iLCJpYXQiOjE1NTc2NjgwOTUsImV4cCI6MTU1NzY3MTY5NSwibmJmIjoxNTU3NjY4MDk1LCJqdGkiOiJDa0VRVUZDa2xTZm9OcTZHIiwic3ViIjoxLCJwcnYiOiI4N2UwYWYxZWY5ZmQxNTgxMmZkZWM5NzE1M2ExNGUwYjA0NzU0NmFhIiwibmFtZSI6Ik1pQWMifQ.AWCjjEQh-Tmc4I9z3R0AA1QLUm5IuZAYSlRjeL5IrLo
